BCRCC's precinct candidate endorsements violate GOP rules

Scott Herndon (who is still officially the Bonner County Republican Central Committee chair) and the BCRCC loyalists are at it again in direct violation of the Idaho Republican Party state rules.

From the Rules, on Page 29: “However, the Central Commitee may not endorse any candidate(s) for the office of Precinct Committeeman.”

The BCRCC has sent out two “Official Voter Guides.” These guides not only attack sitting Precinct Committeeman, they make recommendions for PC candidates.

Apparently, the rules don’t apply to him and those he seeks to get elected. A vote for any in that guide is a vote for their continued effort to keep power in the hands of a small set of individuals.
